Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

Dehumanising of people is an essential tool in any immigration control. Seeing people as human, someone like yourself, makes it much harder to agree to throwing them out of the country. That's the honest conversation we'll never have about "clamping down" on immigration

Nature isn’t the enemy of housing—it’s essential for healthy communities.
Scapegoating wildlife won’t speed up building, but it will cost us vital habitats.
The EAC report is clear: stop this lazy narrative, fix skills shortages, and protect our environment.

Nature is not the blocker to 1.5 million homes, instead it’s a necessity for building resilient towns and neighbourhoods.

Agreed.
If someone has travelled thousands of miles, paying everything they own to an exploitative people smuggling gang, risking their life in a deadly channel crossing, I do not want to be the person who takes their last valuables – a mother’s necklace? A gift? – from them. And nor should the rest of us.
